Thermo Scientific Nicolet iS10 FT-IR Spectrometer

Facility Details

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is a technique which is used to obtain an infrared spectrum of absorption, emission, photoconductivity or Raman scattering of a solid, liquid or gas. An FTIR spectrometer simultaneously collects spectral data in a wide spectral range. This confers a significant advantage over a dispersive spectrometer which measures intensity over a narrow range of wavelengths at a time. FTIR has made dispersive infrared spectrometers all but obsolete (except sometimes in the near infrared), opening up new applications of infrared spectroscopy.

The beginning and end dates for each internship will be agreed upon between the Faculty and the Intern. Visa processing time will be a determining factor in actual start date. Minimum period is three months. Maximum period is six months.
